Dark Purple and Teal for Sara and Aaron!











With colors like Concord Grape and Tealness you know the flowers are really going to pop!! For Sara and Aaron's September wedding, they chose to stay away from the more traditional fall colors and go with colors they love! When we sat down to figure out the flowers, I knew we just HAD to use the dyed dendrobium orchids somewhere. They have the perfect combination of the purple and teal all in one blossom. Sara wanted her bouquet to be mainly purple with accents of white. Since there isn't a purple rose, I always recommend what I like to call the rose imitator: Double lizianthus and it comes in the best purple color! Sara's had purple hydrangea as well as purple delphinium. The three shades of purple blended beautifully with one another and the stephanotis added that hint of white while adding a touch of fragrance. For her girls, we decided on a base of blue hydrangea studded with the dyed orchids and and purple delphinium. And, as always, when I am placing flowers on the cake it is one of the aspects of my job that I just love!! The smell of the fresh cake is sooooo yummy!!!
Congratulations to Sara and Aaron!
